that explains one reason why there's not been a vote.
otoh, it's entirely possible they think (probably correctly) that an abstention (i.e. a total blank) is better than any on the list. actually, wolf blitzer has that 1930's pure nazi ring to it that might appeal to the more socialist minded of them. he's not officially declared, but i thought he'd get a few votes just for his nationalistische-sozialistische deutsche klingende name.
